so get ready.&nbsp;&nbsp;Here\u2019s a list of events that will be whitewashed, and how the new MAGA-Republican Administration will insist they be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Insurrection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">There was no Insurrection.&nbsp;&nbsp;There was a peaceful protest at the Capitol Building on January 6<sup>th<\/sup>, 2021, where a few folks got out of control.&nbsp;&nbsp;If the Capitol Police had simply let them all in, the \u201cpeaceful protestors\u201d would have voiced their opinions, and left the Capitol undamaged.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Therefore, all of those imprisoned for offenses on January 6<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;should be released (and pardoned), and those \u201cDemocrat\u201d prosecutors who brought charges against them now should be the prosecuted.&nbsp;&nbsp;And besides, it was Nancy Pelosi\u2019s fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pandemic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Sure, there was a pandemic in 2020-2021.\u00a0\u00a0But if we had just let the country go, it would have \u201cburned through\u201d the Nation, and we survivors would all now have \u201cherd immunity\u201d (the view of Trump\u2019s appointee for Director of the National Institute of Health, Jay Bhattacharya).\u00a0\u00a0While Trump was instrumental in the quick development of vaccines, wearing masks was a \u201cwaste of time\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u00a0\u00a0Those that advocated masks and closing schools and businesses ought to be held accountable for the \u201cdamage\u201d they did.\u00a0\u00a0The fact that 1.2 million died (and are still dying) from Covid, and that number would be multiple millions more if we tried to gain \u201cherd immunity\u201d, is \u201cwrong-speak\u201d, not accepted or allowed by the New Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Child Separation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If we only made migrants really, really regret coming to the United States, they would stop coming.&nbsp;&nbsp;So the first term Trump child-separation policy was not abhorrent at all, but brilliant.&nbsp;&nbsp;The only flaw in the policy was that the media got access to what was going on.&nbsp;&nbsp;We need to let the \u201cdirty work\u201d to \u201cprotect our borders\u201d go on without interference.&nbsp;&nbsp;(It\u2019s the old Kiefer Sutherland in&nbsp;<em>Twenty-Four&nbsp;<\/em>attitude, secretly \u201cdoing American\u2019s wet work\u201d).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The fact that conditions in some Central and South American countries are so bad, that anything, any risk, is better than staying there doesn\u2019t mean anything at all.\u00a0\u00a0The Border Guards should grab up their kids, whisk them all over the country on buses, and send the parents to camps and ultimately back to Nicaragua.\u00a0\u00a0Ask Tom Homan, Trump\u2019s new \u201cBorder Czar\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tariffs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Tariffs will protect American industry from foreign competition.&nbsp;&nbsp;If we just make those \u201cfurr-in\u201d products more expensive, then we\u2019ll \u201cget back\u201d to buying \u201cgood ol\u2019 American stuff\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;(<em>So back in the mid-1970\u2019s, I worked for Sears in their TV and Stereo department.&nbsp;&nbsp;My job was to \u201csell American\u201d.
